| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Sorry Greg and others, the reason I don't mention Lloyds phono is because I had it in my system twice and do not like it. Perhaps It's because my cartridge is .2MV output and Lloyds phono is 22 DB less gain than my Io. Perhaps It because its trans... | |
| RIP Dad Elgordo What has been expressed here exceeds anything I can add. I will only say I had great respect for Elgordo and thank you for allowing us to share your memories. | |
| EAR 834P Face Plate Depending on what your 834P face plate is made of and what you wish it looked like, there are many options. The first few that come to mind involve modifying the existing face plate: Paint, Nextel, chrome plate, black chrome plate, gold plate or m... | |

| Why Purchase used tubes? When it came to tubing the EL34's in the power supply of my Aesthetix Io and Callisto, I bought the most premium NOS available to insure maximum possible performance. In my Aesthetix this is justified as I have no intention of switching brands and... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Dan_ed,I'm no expert on language but I think you meant Felice NavidadEither that or you spelled it correctly and THIS Falice is what you're wishing for Raul.If so, no wonder he headed home. | |
| Why Purchase used tubes? My answer applies to all types of tubes, but for the sake of clarity my examples will refer only to Mullard EL34. This is one of the most popular tubes ever made and of all I've ever owned (hundreds), only a handful were purchased new. Many of the... | |
